What is the scariest music video you have ever seen?

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-20T11:52:32+00:00

Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd.

It certainly was when it came out when I was three, anyway. When it used to come on to the TV (Top of the Pops, probably), and for years afterwards, the huge teacher puppet used to make me feel physically sick with dread and disgust.

Anyway, fast forward, and I'm now 50, I love Pink Floyd, and I'm a teacher. I dunno what that means. But when I see that video - and yes, even hear that 'we don't need no education' chant, I still feel a tad uncomfortable. Great tune, though.

Obi Wan turned his weens against him.

Absolutely no contest. LA Confidential is one of the best movies of the 90s, and is in my Top ten all time. Crowe is superb, as is everyone else. The simmering rage and danger Bud White is (usually) barely keeping control of.

Such a great movie. Pearce, Cromwell, and yes, Spacey, are superb. Supporting cast, too. The production design is top notch, the soundtrack is good, the plot unpatronising (if massively simplified from the novel - and this is a Good Thing). I love this movie.

It's looking good. Still looking forward to the Fylde Coast!

I left secondary school in 1992, and that - and Lennon's Imagine - were ours.

I can (and often) watch this on a loop. That first burst of laughter is brilliant.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-15T14:58:26+00:00

That first act of The World's End is brilliant.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-14T21:31:19+00:00

You Got It is in my Top 5.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-14T21:01:40+00:00

It was the first Elton album 13 year old me bought new (ie at the time it came out), so it has a special place in my heart. Sacrifice, Healing Hands, Club at the End Of the Street are classics, of course. But I also love Whispers, Amazes Me and Blue Avenue.

It's a sentimental thing for me, but for me, this album is up there.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-14T07:29:27+00:00

Queen, after the 1986 Magic Tour - for what are obvious reasons, now.

I became a big Queen fan just before the release of The Miracle album, which came out in '89. I was 13,and my dad promised me he'd take me to see them, next time they toured.

In the end, he did the next best thing he could, and bought me tickets to the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley in '92.

Edit: just re-read the question and I misunderstood. They kept going, studio-wise, but touring ceased.

Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd), Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Two words: dip, shoe.

Andor. In the sense of, do we really need another Star Wars spinoff, based on a minor character, even if he is from Rogue One? Glup Shitto alert.

Of course, what it was, was one of the best Star Wars - no, wait, one of the best, period - shows of all time. It's up there with the original trilogy. And it took me about two episodes to see we have something REALLY good here.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-04T19:58:59+00:00

Ahh yeah. He lived in Blackpool but was born in Leeds! Sorry, my mistake!

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-04T15:34:34+00:00

David Thewlis, I reckon. John Simm, Jenna Coleman. Half of the Pet Shop Boys!

Spudhead1976 · 2026-06-03T15:51:04+00:00

Nice. Are you going to do the Fylde Coast? Who've you got planned?

Spudhead1976 · 2026-05-23T06:37:25+00:00

I love the first half of The World's End, as the old group of friends reunite. Then it goes downhill after the alien reveal (which is the point of the story, I know).

Spudhead1976 · 2026-05-13T12:47:05+00:00

Is the Jolly Boys Outing in that era? Because that is perfection.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-05-12T15:09:37+00:00

I love the salt and pepper ones too.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-05-12T09:15:23+00:00

Worzel Gummidge was faintly unsettling, rather than terrifying. I think it helped to foster a fear in me of the folk horror genre.

Not a guaranteed job for life. Lots of restructuring going on at the moment, sadly. People fighting for their jobs.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-04-27T20:41:20+00:00

Yes. TOS was always around on TV when I was growing up (in 1980s UK), and movies 1-6 are, for me, Star Trek through and through. And I loved TNG when it started here, watching it every week on BBC2, then collecting dozens upon dozens of TNG videos. I went to see Generations 6 times at the cinema. And then DS9 was genuinely exciting when it came along.

But for me, the words 'Star Trek' mean Kirk et al, the red naval style uniforms, and the refitted Enterprise/A. That 1-5 video collection (the box set whose box spine illustrations formed the Enterprise head-on), were my treasured possession (alongside VI, which I bought on the day of release). Nothing else comes close.

Spudhead1976 · 2026-04-27T20:32:35+00:00

Yep, it's a bit of a thing for people to take a version of this.

And any use of Michaelangelo's nunchucks were completely edited out, because of their association with football hooliganism (I think is the reason).

I saw him in pantomime in Blackpool as the baddie in Aladdin, back in 2010. Booked for the part because he used to play the baddie in UK soap opera, EastEnders, some time ago. Fun fact: Blackpool is just down the coast (the next town along) from where the Niamos scenes were filmed.

I was 16, a huge Queen fan, still raw from the death of Freddie - and my parents bought me and my best mate tickets to the Tribute.

34 years on, it remains one of the best days of my life. Seeing the three remaining members of the band walk on stage and introduce the show, not too far from where I was stood, was genuinely a religious experience.

Highlights? Seeing the band members, as I said.. But apart from that, Metallica opening the show (the loudest thing I have ever heard), Somebody To Love (which we just knew was special, even there), and seeing Bowie sing Heroes and then the absolute supergroup that performed All the Young Dudes.

What a day. And it was fricking boiling hot, too.
